Question

a sun of money is divided between kareb an natasga in the ratio 2:5 if natasga recieve $210 how much did karen recieve ? how much money was share in total ​

Answer 1

Let us say Karen received X amount of money. Then Natasha has received (X+210).

The ratio that the money divided was 2:5.

X/(X+210) = 2/5

5X = 2(X+210)

3X = 420

X = 140

Total money shared

= X+(X+210)

= 140+140+210

= 490

Answer 2

Correct question :-

• A sum of money is divided between Karen and Natasha in the ratio 2 : 5 if Natasha recieve $210 how much did Karen recieve ? How much money was in total share .

Given :-

•The total money recieved by Natasha

= $210

• The money is divided in the ratio 2 : 5

Solution :-

Let the total amount of money be x

Here,

The money is divided in the ratio 2 : 5

Let the ratios be 2x and 5x

Sum of ratios = 2x + 5x = 7x

Now,

The total amount of money recieved by Natasha = $210

According to the question,

5/7 x = 2/7x + $210

Multiply both side by 7

5/7x * 7 = 7( 2/7x + 210 )

5x = 2x + 1470

5x - 2x = 1470

3x = 1470

x = 1470/3

x = $490

Thus,

The total amount of money is $490 .

Now,

The money recieved by Karen

= 5/7 * 490 = $350

Hence, The money recieved by Karen is $350 $.$
